Campaigns

As a non-profit, non-governmental organisation, Free Software Foundation
Europe works to create general understanding and support for Free Software
and Open Standards in politics, business, law and society at large.
Therefore we run the following campaigns. You can help us with them!

Everybody should have the right to use the router or modem they want
to. In many countries, this isn't possible because internet providers
forbid them to execute their right of choice. This causes severe
freedom, privacy, and security problems. In Germany, we achieved an
important legal change but many European countries still need our
help.

An EU Directive restricts users to install Free Software on their
radio devices like routers and mobile phones. It forces device
manufacturers to assess the radio regulatory compliance for every
possible software solution. This may make it almost impossible for
people to secure their devices, and causes heavy disadvantages for
Free Software projects and small to medium-sized businesses.

Valentines Day is a celebration of love and affection between intimate
companions. FSFE’s campaign try to make the opportunity to show you
care about the people and Free Software that you love all year
round.

Android is a mostly free operating system mainly developed by Google.
Unfortunately, the drivers for most devices and most applications from the “market” are non-free.
This campaign collects information about
running an Android system as free as possible
and tries to coordinate these efforts.

DRM.info is a collaborative platform initiated and maintained by
FSFE to inform on the dangers of Digital Restrictions Management
and show the concerns from various different groups.
DRM.info contributors include digital liberty groups, consumer
protection, net-activism and library organisations.

EURA is a pending strategic litigation case for Open Standards in Slovakia. In 2010, Slovakia mandated electronic means as the only way of fullfiling certain statutory tax obligations. The electronic solution of the state was however available only to clients of one vendor. EURA, a Slovak textil importer, was fined for not using this vendor.
